WHAT CANCER TAUGHT ME
Cancer taught me that I MATTER! I have become intentional about how I live. I have made my lifestyle my medicine.
Supplements
1) Omega3 Fish oil gels- 2000mg EPA + DHA daily, so if you're still on the Keon fish oils, you should be taking 2 gels daily with food. 2) Pregnenolone 3) CoQ10 200mg- 1 cap daily since you're on statins 4) Vitamin D3/K2 5000 IU- 1 cap daily with food

Don’t just take the prognosis - because that’s going to have a huge impact on your healing or not healing at all.

My Story

When I have first diagnosed with stage four metastatic lung cancer, I was told there was no treatment and no hope. Nine months later, I received my first clean scan. Fast forward five years, and I am faced with yet another diagnosis, but this time, the tumor made a home in my brain, liver, and chest. Fast forward four months later, I received my first clean scan. My story is the definition of HOPE! The more we share our story, the more people will believe that cancer does not have to be a death sentence; it can be a life sentence!
